Me on Nip

It's been extra hectic for mom lately so this is my first chance to blog for a while. Lux tagged me to do a Me-Me about me and nip behavior and then tag other friends. Here are the rules:
"All you catsters out there have to list five things you do whenever you're on the nip and tag some other kitties afterward. Let's find out how wacked out some of us get!"


Nip dancing with my yellow mousie

I especially love it when mom puts furry mousies in a plastic baggie with nip in it and shakes it up and then gets the nipped up toys out for me to play with.

1. While mom is shaking the plastic bag with the nip and toys in it I stand up on my hind legs and touch mom's leg and meow politely for her to hurry up and get the mousie out of the bag.

2. When mom gives me the nip covered mousie I pick it up by it's tail (or feathers if it's a feather butt mousie) and throw it in the air.

3. I repeat step two throwing it in the air several times more until my mom laughs out loud.

4. Then I run through the house and chase the mousie whom I am sure is running though the house taunting me.

5. Then, finally, I begin dancing with the mousie and seeing how long I can keep him up in mid-air.

Now, since I have taken so long to do this me-me probably most of all the other cats have been tagged, if not I am tagging YOU. Yes, if you are reading this and want to "fess up" about your nip behavior you are tagged.

Oh, mom says the picture isn't very good cuz the rug came out maroon rather than red like it is. Oops!

Tuesday Tummy

I was going to post a picture of me being beautiful but decided to put one of Tommy doing his usual full Monty because it is a good picture of the kokopeli skiers by the window. The other day Lux commented that he could see them in the background. They are really downhill skiers but mom hasn't put them up on the wall yet so for now they are cross country kokopeli skiers.

Hiding

It's kind of hard for a 16 pound cat to hide, but my brother Tommy is doing a pretty good job here. This is our living room kitty grass he is hiding behind. We also have bedroom kitty grass and study kitty grass too. The study kitty grass is looking kind of pitiful and I think it's time for mom to pot some more.

We love kitty grass. Thanks mom.

Rainbows

It was sunny this weekend but since this is monsoon season we have been weather watching a lot. Not long ago after lots of rain we saw a beautiful double rainbow.

Hope there are lots of rainbows in your week.

Woody the Inside Bird

Hi Tommy here. Some of you may remember Woody our inside bird friend who falls over every time Shilgiah stares at him. Woody seldom has much to say but he is quite a friendly bird. I've actually never seen him fly but sometimes he moves from place to place while I'm napping so he must know how to fly.

Hi Woody! How are you today?
